Twitterist: Philadelphia In 140 Characters Or Less

Today's featured Twitter user is @FreeLibrary, who keeps the Twitterverse connected to Philadelphia's recently-endangered Free Library system. State budget crises have put the libraries in the cross-hairs of cost-cutting efforts, potentially cutting off those most in need of their services. We're grateful to them for all they do and if you have a story about how they have affected your life, email them at stories@freelibrary.org.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming!
